Internship Application Information

A completed application consists of:

Application cover page.

An essay of approximately 500-750 words. Explain your interest in the projects you have slected, and your background and qualifications to undertake the proposed project(s) for which you apply.
Please include information on both the academic skills you can bring to the project(s) and any additional experiences you have had that are relevant.

A resume or CV.

Official copy of transcript (both undergraduate and graduate, if relevant).

Terms of the Internship

Interns will devote approximately 30 hours per week for a ten week period
between mid-May and mid-August. Specific dates will be worked out between
the student and the co-sponsoring agency. Undergraduate students can earn
up to $1,875 for the summer. Unless otherwise indicated, graduate students
can earn up to $3,600. Each student will have a site
supervisor.

Who May Apply

Students in good standing enrolled full-time during the Spring semester prior to the internship may apply for the summer opportunities. Matches will be made on the basis of the student's qualifications to meet the needs of the agency which is co-sponsoring the internship. Fields of greatest interest include history, anthropology, archaeology, art history, architecture, education, and American studies. No student will be excluded because of discipline, however.
